چکیده
Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). AA 2014 , April 27, 2014, Toronto, Canada. Abstract In this workshop we describe our ongoing work on a prototype presenting heat map data to visually impaired users. We try to reduce the stress level of blind travelers by presenting information about the number of other blind persons who can help with navigation. This is reached by augmentation of the users’ environment by social proximity metaphor mediated by our heat map thermal display of the prototype.

From Open Geographical Data to Tangible Maps: Improving the Accessibility of Maps for Visually Impaired People
Visual maps must be transcribed into (interactive) raised-line maps to be accessible for visually impaired people. However, these tactile maps suffer from several shortcomings: they are long and expensive to produce, they cannot display a large amount of information, and they are not dynamically modifiable. A number of methods have been developed to automate the production of raised-line maps, ...

Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). CHI’13, April 27 – May 2, 2013, Paris, France. ACM 978-1-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/XX. Abstract Commonly used haptic interaction techniques are typically limited to touching solid glass displays or vibrations. Although there are more complex experimental haptic interfaces, their real application is often unclear. Our prototype of tangible heat map for visually imp...
متن کاملA Prototype Audio-Tactile Map System with an Advanced Auditory Display
Tactile surfaces can display information in a variety of applications for all users, but can be of particular benefit to blind and visually impaired individuals. One example is the use of paper-based tactile maps as navigational aids for interior and exterior spaces; visually impaired individuals may use these to practice and learn a route prior to journeying. The addition of an interactive aud...
متن کاملMaking Gestural Interaction Accessible to Visually Impaired People
As touch screens become widely spread, making them more accessible to visually impaired people is an important task. Touch displays possess a poor accessibility for visually impaired people. One possibility to make them more accessible without sight is through gestural interaction. Yet, there are still few studies on using gestural interaction for visually impaired people. In this paper we pres...
